ALL - Roll Bars

[Double Venom]

Sat, 18th, -10,
First vacation in over 15 years.
5:30 AM - Pentwater, Mi. 48 degrees!
Charleston S.C. 5:30 AM 83 degrees!

Not a very long vacation, but a very nice one. Wedding TODAY, and he still hasn't run away! From this point on until 6 PM (Wedding time..) watching that man like a Hawk!

Heading back Tuesday, will get the trailer finished in a day, load the boat and get the shop opened back up!

Wedding is on the beach- Neat, Surf is pounding, sky's are clear and blue. surfers aren't having much luck on these small "rollers".

Ok, Ed, how 'bout those roll bars. It's now been exactly 90 days since I since the payment for the parts. Any update?

Patrick,
Got back in the shop Sat. Had a message from the infamous Terry Gattrill. I assume it has something to do with your roll bars. I called him Sat. evening and still waiting for his return call.

Wade, Cobra77, Chris, J. Walt, J.C.Morant are all waiting for their roll bars also!
Normally long "before" this point would have been reached I would simply have returned everyones deposit due to the unusual time delay. Since I had to purchase repair parts and of course the steel and since the profit margin that I have is so small there is not the funds available to return it all.

So once again I WILL get all the orders out asap. I see or expect no more hold ups. Bending has started-I will notify each person when his bar (s) are done and on the way, either here or through PMs.

Patrick, not being rude, but this is all the information available at this time, you and everyone else that has ordered are all in the same boat. I am trying to catch up asap. Not doing me any good with the steel and bender sitting dormant!, let alone ALL the guys that have been waiting a good period of time!

You can put mine to the back of the line. I don't need it right away if others are waiting for theirs. Wade

Wade,
Thanks for the offer! But things are finally moving forward, Bender is bending, grinder is grinding, welder is welding! And, the pile of pipe is getting smaller.

Where's Cattrill!? 11PM-still no call???????

Appreciate the offer!

Ed,

Terry's last name is spelled Gatrell. He is no more infamous than I am and we've be waiting more than 90 days for these roll bars when you promised them in three weeks so please don't take our frustrations out on Terry. It's been over a week since the last check in for the bars. He cannot finish my car without the bars you're making obviously so I'm sure he's just trying to work things out. I happen to agree with him in fact that it would be ideal to have all the parts bolted in place and holes cut before spraying the body. My guess is that the roll bars are the last thing you do to a car when you've built them in the past.

Look, I don't even like using this forum to exchange dialogue and air this discussion for everyone to see either, don't think our business is anyone's else's business, but you won't answer my direct emails.

Maybe at this point, you would consider calling me at your earliest convienence to discuss, my number is 540-798-6292.

Please, as one veteran to another, just finish my bars. I paid up front for them a long time ago and I feel like I deserve to have them finished and shipped sooner than later, that's all.

Patrick
